That just depends on who you're jungling. I think nunu can level 1 jungle without an issue as long as you open cloth 5 since you don't have runes or masterys.


Humongous emphasis on the word "can". I, an experienced jungler, can jungle with Nunu at level 1 without issue. The same can not be said of a newbie jungler. There are a million things that have become pure instinct/muscle memory for me which are complete mysteries to someone starting for the first time.

I've recently had a few friends ask me for help because they wanted to learn to jungle. When you get asked questions like, "do I kill the lizards first at blue?" you realize just how huge the learning curve for jungling really is.

I believe you need 3 exp mastery points to ding 2 off blue.

But every jungle can go through at level 1: just do a modified fast 6 and back before you do blue.


You only need 1/4 to level off blue/mini-golems. This is because you need to exceed 280 exp to hit level 2, but you get exactly 280 exp from those camps without runes/masteries/Zilean. You need 3/4 to hit 3 off of the small camps if you aren't starting blue.

There've been reports that you no longer need to exceed 280 exp to hit level 2 and that hitting the exact value is sufficient, but I haven't tested those claims.

Is there a good guide for jungling I can read that actually explains the concepts and decision making rather than just the different routes?


The concepts and decision making are all game sense that you pick up from experience. There isn't a guide you can read where you should do A then B then C then D. Jungling doesn't work like that, it's all how the game is flowing at that moment.

As a general rule of thumb:
  • Clear your camps as quickly as possible. The respawn timers don't reset until all the mobs are dead.
  • Keep track of buff/dragon/baron timers. Yours and the enemies if possible so you can plan where their jungler is.
  • How pushed all the lanes are and if there's an opportunity for you to exert pressure (or your laners need you to exert that pressure since they're losing). Keep in mind you DO NOT need to get a kill for your pressure to be effective. However, you can get behind by lingering there too long if you don't get a kill.
  • An opportunity to counter jungle your opponent since they're out of position to stop you.
  • Somebody on your team needs to back and the person they're laning will push the tower. If a lot of creeps are going to die and not yield exp to anybody you should probably remedy that by going and getting that exp regardless.


You have to weigh these options all at once and make split second decisions about which one is going to yield the most benefit for your team.

The single biggest thing to remember when learning to jungle is to get your farm. Traditional US style jungle dictates that you are a 4th carry- carries need items. Items require farm. The worst thing you can do is focus too much on counterjungling and ganking, and not level yourself up.

As for a general what to do- as others have said, it is very situational and takes a lot of practice. A good way to learn is to watch people like Saintvicious and Dan Dinh stream, then just do exactly what they do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, but you begin to learn what to look for.

I only have a few games under my belt as a jungler but yes I can say that was what happened. Initially I was jungling nunu but I was just running around from lane to lane confused and got insanely behind on farm. In fact the only time I've had a successful game jungling is when I played warwick and actually managed to get nice ganks & we won that game, even tho the stupid riven who was solo top actually came down and stole my blue buff at the start of the game.

One nitpick.

Failing to get a kill is not necessarily a failed gank so long as you force the enemy to blow summoner spells. A flash/exhaust burned to escape from you is one they won't have when they try to gank your team or survive a later skirmish/gank. This is especially true if you burn an Alistar/Taric's flash, as that greatly reduces their ability to initiate action on your carry/support.

Ganks aren't even a binary issue of "this gank succeeded", "this gank failed". Obviously there are some that are very clearly worth it (e.g. you get a kill and a tower), but most of the time it's an issue of "was the gank better than whatever else you could have accomplished?" Sometimes, if the situation makes it so, even jumping into the lane, putting 100-200 damage on the laner and leaving, or just moving in and watching their response to see if they've warded is "successful" gank simply because there's not a whole lot else you could have done at the time.

And this does put pressure on the enemy laner, if he just had to eat 200 dmg (and might return some to you) he is now at 200 deficit vs his opponent who now has a possible upper hand to pressure him for more trades, try a kill or even start zoning or denying him. Ganks don't need to end in kills and not always even blowing summoners to put pressure on lane.

Naturally ofc the rage inducing factor if you "gank" say top lane everytime you clear a camp top side of map, will make their top laner very wary as you seem to be camping his lane non stop. Amplify with a pink ward (or your top can do this) on his ward in the river to clean it out and enjoy the /all chat from a frustrated enemy top laner.

They switched it to use the Warcraft 3 system instead of actually "rolling a die" whenever it has to take crit chance into account.

What this means is that the longer you go without critting, the more likely it is the next hit will critical. If you just crit with an attack, it's less likely that your next attack will crit. Same for dodge.

There's algorithms to ensure that your overall crit chance is what it shows up to be, but this helps prevent long strings of "i crit them 5000x in a row" and not critting 10 times in a row when you have 99% crit chance.

The system has its own problems - when they first introduced it, characters with 100% crit chance would never crit because they messed up the algorithm.

It can often even be useful if you have no creeps on your side and nothing to buy just to show yourself in a lane to remind that opponent that you CAN gank, even if you arent actually trying to. Best case they blow a summoner for you.

Wait, I didn't know about this. Is there any more detail? Shouldn't you just purposely engage after a long series of no-crit, or engage right after your opponent gets a random crit?
